Coal ash, which contains many of the world's worst carcinogens, is what's left over when coal is burnt for electricity. An estimated 113 million tons of coal ash are produced annually in the US, and stored in almost every state — some of it literally in people's backyards. With very little government oversight and few safeguards in place, toxic chemicals have been known to leak from these storage sites and into nearby communities, contaminating drinking water and making residents sick.
On February 2, 2014, up to 39,000 tons of coal ash and 27 million gallons of contaminated water spilled out into the Dan River in North Carolina after a pipe broke underneath a coal ash pond at a Duke Energy power plant. The environmental disaster thrust Duke Energy, the country’s largest electricity company, into the spotlight, revealing a history of violations and inadequate oversight of ponds at all of its plants across the state.
In part one, VICENews travels to North Carolina to visit a river that’s been poisoned with arsenic from a nearby Duke Energy site, speak with a resident who has found toxic heavy metals in her drinking water, and question a Duke Energy spokesperson about the power company’s policies.

http://democracynow.org - In eastern North Carolina, residents are battling with one of the state’s largest industries: hog farms. Last week, North Carolina lawmakers passed HouseBill 467, which limits the damages that residents could collect against hog farms. The billion-dollar industry is primarily clustered in the eastern part of the state, where hog farms collect billions of gallons of untreated pig feces and urine in what are essentially cesspools, then dispose of the waste by spraying it into the air. Residents living in the area of the spray complain of adverse health effects and odor so bad that it limits their ability to be outdoors. For more, we speak with Naeema Muhammad, organizing co-director for the North Carolina Environmental JusticeNetwork, and Will Hendrick, staff attorney with the Waterkeeper Alliance and manager of the organization’s North Carolina PureFarms, Pure Waters campaign.

According to a special report, Dublin County ranks number one in hog production in North Carolina. The hog waste created annually by the process, which is sprayed onto fields in Dublin, is estimated to be as high as the amount of human waste produced by Colorado, Kentucky and New Mexico combined. Many county residents who live near these fields report decreased heath and quality of life.

My best friend of 15 years ties the knot in Saluda, North Carolina surrounded by friends, family and nature on October 8, 2016. The ceremony was at Pearson's Falls and the reception was at a historic, 100+ year old house near downtown Saluda that she found on AirBNB.
She used a lot of natural and compostable utensils, plates, napkins and decorations like pumpkins, flowers, coffee filters and hay bales. The games serving dishes were all borrowed. She even had people sign her waterfall painting instead of a guestbook.
They are seriously two of the best people I know and they planned and paid for everything themselves. She made all the decorations from compostable or recycled materials and he made all the food. They recycled or composted just about everything.
I'm so happy for them and that this will help them remember their special day!

North Carolina is composed of 100 counties. Its two largest metropolitan areas are among the top ten fastest-growing in the country: its capital, Raleigh, and its largest city, Charlotte. In the past five decades, North Carolina's economy has undergone a transition from reliance upon tobacco, textiles, and furniture-making to a more diversified economy with engineering, energy, biotechnology, and finance sectors.

Duke Energy

Overview

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Duke Energy owns 58,200 megawatts of base-load and peak generation in the United States, which it distributes to its 7.2 million customers. Duke Energy's service territory covers 104,000 square miles (270,000km2) with 250,200 miles (402,700km) of distribution lines. In addition, Duke Energy has more than 4,300 megawatts of electric generation in Latin America. It operates eight hydroelectric power plants in Brazil with an installed capacity of 2,307 megawatts. Almost all of Duke Energy's Midwest generation comes from coal, natural gas, or oil, while half of its Carolinas generation comes from its nuclear power plants. During 2006, Duke Energy generated 148,798,332 megawatt-hours of electrical energy.

Duke Energy Renewable Services (DERS), a subsidiary of Duke Energy, specializes in the development, ownership, and operation of various generation facilities throughout the United States. This segment of the company operates 1,700 megawatts of generation. 240 megawatts of wind generation were under construction and 1,500 additional megawatts of wind generation were in planning stages. On September 9, 2008, DERS updated its projections for future wind power capacity. By the end of 2008, it would have over 500 MW of nameplate capacity of wind power online, and an additional 5,000 MW in development.

Etymology

The word north is related to the Old High Germannord, both descending from the Proto-Indo-European unit ner-, meaning "down" (or "under"). (Presumably a natural primitive description of its concept is "to the left of the rising sun".)

The Latin word borealis comes from the Greekboreas "north wind, north", which, according to Ovid, was personified as the son of the river-god Strymon, the father of Calais and Zetes. Septentrionalis is from septentriones, "the seven plow oxen", a name of Ursa Maior. The Greek arktikos is named for the same constellation, and is the derivation of the English word "Arctic".

Other languages have sometimes more interesting derivations. For example, in Lezgian, kefer can mean both 'disbelief' and 'north', since to the north of the Muslim Lezgian homeland there are areas formerly inhabited by non-Muslim Caucasian and Turkic peoples. In many languages of Mesoamerica, "north" also means "up". In Hungarian the word for north is észak, which is derived from éjszaka ("night"), since above the Tropic of Cancer, the Sun never shines from the north.

Toxic Waste Spill in North Carolina: Coal Ash (Part 1)

Coal ash, which contains many of the world's worst carcinogens, is what's left over when coal is burnt for electricity. An estimated 113 million tons of coal ash are produced annually in the US, and stored in almost every state — some of it literally in people's backyards. With very little government oversight and few safeguards in place, toxic chemicals have been known to leak from these storage sites and into nearby communities, contaminating drinking water and making residents sick.
On February 2, 2014, up to 39,000 tons of coal ash and 27 million gallons of contaminated water spilled out into the Dan River in North Carolina after a pipe broke underneath a coal ash pond at a Duke Energy power plant.

Sandy Mush NC - NO! to nuclear waste dump!

Now that Yucca Mountain is considered unsafe for the nation's high-level nuclear waste, the "Blue Ribbon Commission on America's NuclearFuture" is considering, among other granite sites, the pristine farmland of the mountains of North Carolina, where pure water and safe food are produced in one of the world's most beautiful places. Please email BRC@nuclear.energy.gov and insist that they not choose SandyMush as the substitute for Yucca Mountain, and for that matter that they not transport nuclear waste across the nation's highways, mountains, rivers, creeks and streams, but instead keep it where it has been produced until a truly safe and permanent solution has been found. The money would be much better spent ensuring the onsite security of the radioactive waste produced by nuclear power plants (including weapons-grade plutonium and uranium). Transportation through the still-unpolluted mountains is a criminal risk. See the comments made at the Asheville, NC SE Energy and EnvironmentExpo (8/2010) at http://www.youtube.com/user/nucnews#p/u/4/yrp_q-c39Bk

She knows that the proposed facility is not suppose to be a "dump" per se and that the stinkiest kinds of garbage, household/hospital waste have been taken out of the most recent application......yet Ms Litz is till very concerned, upset and obviously distrustful of the new enterprise.

Coal ash, which contains many of the world's worst carcinogens, is what's left over when coal is burnt for electricity. An estimated 113 million tons of coal ash are produced annually in the US, and stored in almost every state — some of it literally in people's backyards. With very little government oversight and few safeguards in place, toxic chemicals have been known to leak from these storage sites and into nearby communities, contaminating drinking water and making residents sick.
On February 2, 2014, up to 39,000 tons of coal ash and 27 million gallons of contaminated water spilled out into the Dan River in North Carolina after a pipe broke underneath a coal ash pond at a Duke Energy power plant. The environmental disaster thrust Duke Energy, the country’s largest electricity company, into the spotlight, revealing a history of violations and inadequate oversight of ponds at all of its plants across the state.
In part one, VICENews travels to North Carolina to visit a river that’s been poisoned with arsenic from a nearby Duke Energy site, speak with a resident who has found toxic heavy metals in her drinking water, and question a Duke Energy spokesperson about the power company’s policies.

http://democracynow.org - In eastern North Carolina, residents are battling with one of the state’s largest industries: hog farms. Last week, North Carolina lawmakers passed HouseBill 467, which limits the damages that residents could collect against hog farms. The billion-dollar industry is primarily clustered in the eastern part of the state, where hog farms collect billions of gallons of untreated pig feces and urine in what are essentially cesspools, then dispose of the waste by spraying it into the air. Residents living in the area of the spray complain of adverse health effects and odor so bad that it limits their ability to be outdoors. For more, we speak with Naeema Muhammad, organizing co-director for the North Carolina Environmental JusticeNetwork, and Will Hendrick, staff attorney with the Waterkeeper Alliance and manager of the organization’s North Carolina PureFarms, Pure Waters campaign.

According to a special report, Dublin County ranks number one in hog production in North Carolina. The hog waste created annually by the process, which is sprayed onto fields in Dublin, is estimated to be as high as the amount of human waste produced by Colorado, Kentucky and New Mexico combined. Many county residents who live near these fields report decreased heath and quality of life.

My best friend of 15 years ties the knot in Saluda, North Carolina surrounded by friends, family and nature on October 8, 2016. The ceremony was at Pearson's Falls and the reception was at a historic, 100+ year old house near downtown Saluda that she found on AirBNB.
She used a lot of natural and compostable utensils, plates, napkins and decorations like pumpkins, flowers, coffee filters and hay bales. The games serving dishes were all borrowed. She even had people sign her waterfall painting instead of a guestbook.
They are seriously two of the best people I know and they planned and paid for everything themselves. She made all the decorations from compostable or recycled materials and he made all the food. They recycled or composted just about everything.
I'm so happy for them and that this will help them remember their special day!

VICENews travels across the US to meet the people and visit the areas most affected by this toxic waste stream. Since coal production is predicted to remain steady for the next few decades, coal ash will be a problem that will affect the US for years to come.

Now that Yucca Mountain is considered unsafe for the nation's high-level nuclear waste, the "Blue Ribbon Commission on America's NuclearFuture" is considering, among other granite sites, the pristine farmland of the mountains of North Carolina, where pure water and safe food are produced in one of the world's most beautiful places. Please email BRC@nuclear.energy.gov and insist that they not choose SandyMush as the substitute for Yucca Mountain, and for that matter that they not transport nuclear waste across the nation's highways, mountains, rivers, creeks and streams, but instead keep it where it has been produced until a truly safe and permanent solution has been found. The money would be much better spent ensuring the onsite security of the radioactive waste produced by nuclear power plants (including weapons-grade plutonium and uranium). Transportation through the still-unpolluted mountains is a criminal risk. See the comments made at the Asheville, NC SE Energy and EnvironmentExpo (8/2010) at http://www.youtube.com/user/nucnews#p/u/4/yrp_q-c39Bk

JanieLitz who recently invested in a home in Ridgefield New Jersey shares her experience of having lived near a garbage dump in North Carolina. She has been informed that there is a proposal to build a "WasteTransferFacility" about a mile upwind of where she lives and is not happy about it. She knows that the proposed facility is not suppose to be a "dump" per se and that the stinkiest kinds of garbage, household/hospital waste have been taken out of the most recent application......yet Ms Litz is till very concerned, upset and obviously distrustful of the new enterprise. To be fair, the proposal is for an enclosed transfer station where the solid waste (garbage) would be carted in and dumped on a floor where it would be sorted and then transferred to another facility for recycling.....but Janie's concerns are reasonable in that there is lot's of room for human error and for inadequate protections for the environment.
All it takes is one instance of a few hundred pounds of asbestos laden materials to be loosely "covered" in a carting truck and then dumped in a space with doors that open and close regularly for this highly hazardous material to find its way onto the surfaces of neighboring streets and to fly into high winds and be spread to areas far afield of the local site. Sure, if caught, the contractor and the facility will be fined...but that's no consolation to the eight year old kid who's riding her bicycle and gets a lung-load of this crap and then dies of Mesothelioma 40 years later!
Even putting aside all potential health concerns......who in their right mind would want to buy a home, or even rent an apartment, anywhere near a "waste transfer facility" UNLESS the price was severely discounted and the need to save money outweighed other concerns. This can *only* hurt local property values!
Bottom line: Janie Litz moved to Ridgefield NJ, a nice residential community, in order to get away from the kind of experience she describes in this video....and now she feels justifiably unhappy at the prospect of having to fight a waste/garbage processing center in her new town.
Janie Litz and the people of Ridgefield deserve better than this!!!

Toxic Waste Spill in North Carolina: Coal Ash (Part 1)

Coal ash, which contains many of the world's worst carcinogens, is what's left over when coal is burnt for electricity. An estimated 113 million tons of coal ash are produced annually in the US, and stored in almost every state — some of it literally in people's backyards. With very little government oversight and few safeguards in place, toxic chemicals have been known to leak from these storage sites and into nearby communities, contaminating drinking water and making residents sick.
On February 2, 2014, up to 39,000 tons of coal ash and 27 million gallons of contaminated water spilled out into the Dan River in North Carolina after a pipe broke underneath a coal ash pond at a Duke Energy power plant. The environmental disaster thrust Duke Energy, the country’s largest electricity compan...

http://democracynow.org - In eastern North Carolina, residents are battling with one of the state’s largest industries: hog farms. Last week, North Carolina lawmakers passed HouseBill 467, which limits the damages that residents could collect against hog farms. The billion-dollar industry is primarily clustered in the eastern part of the state, where hog farms collect billions of gallons of untreated pig feces and urine in what are essentially cesspools, then dispose of the waste by spraying it into the air. Residents living in the area of the spray complain of adverse health effects and odor so bad that it limits their ability to be outdoors.

DIY Zero Waste Wedding Video in Saluda, North Carolina

She used a lot of natural and compostable utensils, plates, napkins and decorations like pumpkins, flowers, coffee filters and hay bales. The games serving dishes were all borrowed. She even had people sign her waterfall painting instead of a guestbook.
They are seriously two of the best people I know and they planned and paid for everything themselves. She made all the decorations from compostable or recycled materials and he made all the food. They recycled or composted just about everything.

Toxic Waste in the US: Coal Ash (Full Length)

Coal ash, which contains many of the world's worst carcinogens, is what's left over when coal is burnt for electricity. An estimated 113 million tons of coal ash are produced annually in the US, and stored in almost every state — some of it literally in people's backyards. With very little government oversight and few safeguards in place, toxic chemicals have been known to leak from these storage sites and into nearby communities, contaminating drinking water and making residents sick.
VICENews travels across the US to meet the people and visit the areas most affected by this toxic waste stream. Since coal production is predicted to remain steady for the next few decades, coal ash will be a problem that will affect the US for years to come.

http://democracynow.org - In eastern North Carolina, residents are battling with one of the state’s largest industries: hog farms. Last week, North Carolina lawmakers passed HouseBill 467, which limits the damages that residents could collect against hog farms. The billion-dollar industry is primarily clustered in the eastern part of the state, where hog farms collect billions of gallons of untreated pig feces and urine in what are essentially cesspools, then dispose of the waste by spraying it into the air. Residents living in the area of the spray complain of adverse health effects and odor so bad that it limits their ability to be outdoors. For more, we speak with Naeema Muhammad, organizing co-director for the North Carolina Environmental JusticeNetwork, and Will Hendrick, staff attorney with the Waterkeeper Alliance and manager of the organization’s North Carolina PureFarms, Pure Waters campaign.

My best friend of 15 years ties the knot in Saluda, North Carolina surrounded by friends, family and nature on October 8, 2016. The ceremony was at Pearson's Falls and the reception was at a historic, 100+ year old house near downtown Saluda that she found on AirBNB.
She used a lot of natural and compostable utensils, plates, napkins and decorations like pumpkins, flowers, coffee filters and hay bales. The games serving dishes were all borrowed. She even had people sign her waterfall painting instead of a guestbook.
They are seriously two of the best people I know and they planned and paid for everything themselves. She made all the decorations from compostable or recycled materials and he made all the food. They recycled or composted just about everything.
I'm so happy for them and that this will help them remember their special day!

Waste Storage and Water Contamination: Lessons from West Virginia and North Carolina

In CSGSouth’s Southern Legislative Conference member states, the coal and chemical industries are essential to state economies. Given the importance of these industries to the region for both economic development and employment opportunities, legislators often are faced with balancing business interests with the need for environmental protection and conservation. Hazardous spills in two SLC states—West Virginia and North Carolina—have focused attention on this careful balance. This webinar examines the spills in those states and subsequent legislative action to offer lessons learned for other states.

Intentionally small home: urban living in North Carolina

Nicole Alvarez grew up in a typical American suburban neighborhood: spacious homes, large yards, and not walkable to town. Then she began her architecture education and spent some time abroad during college- living in Prague, Czech Republic and Aix-en-Provence, France- and fell in love with the European size streets, walking commutes and small apartments.
Back home in Raleigh, North Carolina, she wanted to live in something downtown where she could walk, bike or bus everywhere. Small apartments aren't so easy to find here, but she beat out the competition on a 300-square-foot studio above a dentist's office.
With her new home her love for small spaces grew even deeper so she started the site Intentionally Small to blog about her own experiences and those of other tiny home tenants. She's...

(Earth Focus: Episode 64) People in three adjacent Pennsylvania communities suffer from a rare blood cancer. In Juliette, Georgia, where radioactive water flows from the tap, people are also getting sick. What else do these communities have in common? Coal ash. Some 130 million tons of it is generated in the US each year. It contains toxins like lead, arsenic and mercury and it gets into ground water from unlined pond and pit storage sites. The federal government says it's non-hazardous and regulation is left to state governments where the coal industry has great influence. And it's always people who suffer the consequences.

Coal ash, which contains many of the world's worst carcinogens, is what's left over when coal is burnt for electricity. An estimated 113 million tons of coal ash are produced annually in the US, and stored in almost every state — some of it literally in people's backyards. With very little government oversight and few safeguards in place, toxic chemicals have been known to leak from these storage sites and into nearby communities, contaminating drinking water and making residents sick.
VICENews travels across the US to meet the people and visit the areas most affected by this toxic waste stream. Since coal production is predicted to remain steady for the next few decades, coal ash will be a problem that will affect the US for years to come.

Nicole Alvarez grew up in a typical American suburban neighborhood: spacious homes, large yards, and not walkable to town. Then she began her architecture education and spent some time abroad during college- living in Prague, Czech Republic and Aix-en-Provence, France- and fell in love with the European size streets, walking commutes and small apartments.
Back home in Raleigh, North Carolina, she wanted to live in something downtown where she could walk, bike or bus everywhere. Small apartments aren't so easy to find here, but she beat out the competition on a 300-square-foot studio above a dentist's office.
With her new home her love for small spaces grew even deeper so she started the site Intentionally Small to blog about her own experiences and those of other tiny home tenants. She's even profiled her boyfriend, MattTomasulo, who lives, and works, in a small apartment where he runs his two city-related business (City Fabric and Walk Your City).
Alvarez also began to use her blog to talk about one type of tiny home that had become a political issue in Raleigh: Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) AKA granny flats, in-law suites, backyard cottages. Construction of new accessory dwelling units had been banned in Raleigh in the eighties, but given the current rapid growth in population, the city council was trying to decide whether to allow them again.
While the city debated, Alvarez was helping determine what a denser Raleigh might look like. She and a team of architects at In SituStudio (where she was interning) created a proposal for a new zoning district, RA-50 (50 units per acre), that would build density through alleyway neighborhoods tucked into the centers of downtown blocks. They also proposed affordable $30K homes that could be customizable with the purchase of plug-ins: bed + bath, den + media, porch + HVAC, stoop + kitchen, patio + waste.
Nearly a year after Nicole, her sister Julie Alvarez, and her boyfriend Matt began filming this documentary, radical change uprooted Nicole from both her home and political calling. Despite some disappointment, she's become even more attached to making her hometown denser and more walkable and to proving that small- and urban- can be beautiful.

Toxic Waste Spill in North Carolina: Coal Ash (Part 1)

Coal ash, which contains many of the world's worst carcinogens, is what's left over when coal is burnt for electricity. An estimated 113 million tons of coal ash are produced annually in the US, and stored in almost every state — some of it literally in people's backyards. With very little government oversight and few safeguards in place, toxic chemicals have been known to leak from these storage sites and into nearby communities, contaminating drinking water and making residents sick.
On February 2, 2014, up to 39,000 tons of coal ash and 27 million gallons of contaminated water spilled out into the Dan River in North Carolina after a pipe broke underneath a coal ash pond at a Duke Energy power plant. The environmental disaster thrust Duke Energy, the country’s largest electricity company, into the spotlight, revealing a history of violations and inadequate oversight of ponds at all of its plants across the state.
In part one, VICENews travels to North Carolina to visit a river that’s been poisoned with arsenic from a nearby Duke Energy site, speak with a resident who has found toxic heavy metals in her drinking water, and question a Duke Energy spokesperson about the power company’s policies.

http://democracynow.org - In eastern North Carolina, residents are battling with one of the state’s largest industries: hog farms. Last week, North Carolina lawmakers passed HouseBill 467, which limits the damages that residents could collect against hog farms. The billion-dollar industry is primarily clustered in the eastern part of the state, where hog farms collect billions of gallons of untreated pig feces and urine in what are essentially cesspools, then dispose of the waste by spraying it into the air. Residents living in the area of the spray complain of adverse health effects and odor so bad that it limits their ability to be outdoors. For more, we speak with Naeema Muhammad, organizing co-director for the North Carolina Environmental JusticeNetwork, and Will Hendrick, staff attorney with the Waterkeeper Alliance and manager of the organization’s North Carolina PureFarms, Pure Waters campaign.

Special Report Examines Effects of Hog Waste on Dublin County, N.C., Residents

According to a special report, Dublin County ranks number one in hog production in North Carolina. The hog waste created annually by the process, which is sprayed onto fields in Dublin, is estimated to be as high as the amount of human waste produced by Colorado, Kentucky and New Mexico combined. Many county residents who live near these fields report decreased heath and quality of life.

DIY Zero Waste Wedding Video in Saluda, North Carolina

My best friend of 15 years ties the knot in Saluda, North Carolina surrounded by friends, family and nature on October 8, 2016. The ceremony was at Pearson's Falls and the reception was at a historic, 100+ year old house near downtown Saluda that she found on AirBNB.
She used a lot of natural and compostable utensils, plates, napkins and decorations like pumpkins, flowers, coffee filters and hay bales. The games serving dishes were all borrowed. She even had people sign her waterfall painting instead of a guestbook.
They are seriously two of the best people I know and they planned and paid for everything themselves. She made all the decorations from compostable or recycled materials and he made all the food. They recycled or composted just about everything.
I'm so happy for them and that this will help them remember their special day!

Sandy Mush NC - NO! to nuclear waste dump!

Now that Yucca Mountain is considered unsafe for the nation's high-level nuclear waste, the "Blue Ribbon Commission on America's NuclearFuture" is considering, among other granite sites, the pristine farmland of the mountains of North Carolina, where pure water and safe food are produced in one of the world's most beautiful places. Please email BRC@nuclear.energy.gov and insist that they not choose SandyMush as the substitute for Yucca Mountain, and for that matter that they not transport nuclear waste across the nation's highways, mountains, rivers, creeks and streams, but instead keep it where it has been produced until a truly safe and permanent solution has been found. The money would be much better spent ensuring the onsite security of the radioactive waste produced by nuclear power plants (including weapons-grade plutonium and uranium). Transportation through the still-unpolluted mountains is a criminal risk. See the comments made at the Asheville, NC SE Energy and EnvironmentExpo (8/2010) at http://www.youtube.com/user/nucnews#p/u/4/yrp_q-c39Bk

One Woman's Experience With "Waste Disposal" in North Carolina and her Concerns for Ridgefield NJ

JanieLitz who recently invested in a home in Ridgefield New Jersey shares her experience of having lived near a garbage dump in North Carolina. She has been informed that there is a proposal to build a "WasteTransferFacility" about a mile upwind of where she lives and is not happy about it. She knows that the proposed facility is not suppose to be a "dump" per se and that the stinkiest kinds of garbage, household/hospital waste have been taken out of the most recent application......yet Ms Litz is till very concerned, upset and obviously distrustful of the new enterprise. To be fair, the proposal is for an enclosed transfer station where the solid waste (garbage) would be carted in and dumped on a floor where it would be sorted and then transferred to another facility for recycling.....but Janie's concerns are reasonable in that there is lot's of room for human error and for inadequate protections for the environment.
All it takes is one instance of a few hundred pounds of asbestos laden materials to be loosely "covered" in a carting truck and then dumped in a space with doors that open and close regularly for this highly hazardous material to find its way onto the surfaces of neighboring streets and to fly into high winds and be spread to areas far afield of the local site. Sure, if caught, the contractor and the facility will be fined...but that's no consolation to the eight year old kid who's riding her bicycle and gets a lung-load of this crap and then dies of Mesothelioma 40 years later!
Even putting aside all potential health concerns......who in their right mind would want to buy a home, or even rent an apartment, anywhere near a "waste transfer facility" UNLESS the price was severely discounted and the need to save money outweighed other concerns. This can *only* hurt local property values!
Bottom line: Janie Litz moved to Ridgefield NJ, a nice residential community, in order to get away from the kind of experience she describes in this video....and now she feels justifiably unhappy at the prospect of having to fight a waste/garbage processing center in her new town.
Janie Litz and the people of Ridgefield deserve better than this!!!

Special Report Examines Effects of Hog Waste on Dublin County, N.C., Residents

According to a special report, Dublin County ranks number one in hog production in North Carolina. The hog waste created annually by the process, which is sprayed onto fields in Dublin, is estimated to be as high as the amount of human waste produced by Colorado, Kentucky and New Mexico combined. Many county residents who live near these fields report decreased heath and quality of life.

DIY Zero Waste Wedding Video in Saluda, North Carolina

My best friend of 15 years ties the knot in Saluda, North Carolina surrounded by friends, family and nature on October 8, 2016. The ceremony was at Pearson's Falls and the reception was at a historic, 100+ year old house near downtown Saluda that she found on AirBNB.
She used a lot of natural and compostable utensils, plates, napkins and decorations like pumpkins, flowers, coffee filters and hay bales. The games serving dishes were all borrowed. She even had people sign her waterfall painting instead of a guestbook.
They are seriously two of the best people I know and they planned and paid for everything themselves. She made all the decorations from compostable or recycled materials and he made all the food. They recycled or composted just about everything.
I'm so happy for them and that this will help them remember their special day!

Toxic Waste in the US: Coal Ash (Full Length)

Coal ash, which contains many of the world's worst carcinogens, is what's left over when coal is burnt for electricity. An estimated 113 million tons of coal ash are produced annually in the US, and stored in almost every state — some of it literally in people's backyards. With very little government oversight and few safeguards in place, toxic chemicals have been known to leak from these storage sites and into nearby communities, contaminating drinking water and making residents sick.
VICENews travels across the US to meet the people and visit the areas most affected by this toxic waste stream. Since coal production is predicted to remain steady for the next few decades, coal ash will be a problem that will affect the US for years to come.

Waste Storage and Water Contamination: Lessons from West Virginia and North Carolina

In CSGSouth’s Southern Legislative Conference member states, the coal and chemical industries are essential to state economies. Given the importance of these industries to the region for both economic development and employment opportunities, legislators often are faced with balancing business interests with the need for environmental protection and conservation. Hazardous spills in two SLC states—West Virginia and North Carolina—have focused attention on this careful balance. This webinar examines the spills in those states and subsequent legislative action to offer lessons learned for other states.

Intentionally small home: urban living in North Carolina

Nicole Alvarez grew up in a typical American suburban neighborhood: spacious homes, large yards, and not walkable to town. Then she began her architecture education and spent some time abroad during college- living in Prague, Czech Republic and Aix-en-Provence, France- and fell in love with the European size streets, walking commutes and small apartments.
Back home in Raleigh, North Carolina, she wanted to live in something downtown where she could walk, bike or bus everywhere. Small apartments aren't so easy to find here, but she beat out the competition on a 300-square-foot studio above a dentist's office.
With her new home her love for small spaces grew even deeper so she started the site Intentionally Small to blog about her own experiences and those of other tiny home tenants. She's even profiled her boyfriend, MattTomasulo, who lives, and works, in a small apartment where he runs his two city-related business (City Fabric and Walk Your City).
Alvarez also began to use her blog to talk about one type of tiny home that had become a political issue in Raleigh: Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) AKA granny flats, in-law suites, backyard cottages. Construction of new accessory dwelling units had been banned in Raleigh in the eighties, but given the current rapid growth in population, the city council was trying to decide whether to allow them again.
While the city debated, Alvarez was helping determine what a denser Raleigh might look like. She and a team of architects at In SituStudio (where she was interning) created a proposal for a new zoning district, RA-50 (50 units per acre), that would build density through alleyway neighborhoods tucked into the centers of downtown blocks. They also proposed affordable $30K homes that could be customizable with the purchase of plug-ins: bed + bath, den + media, porch + HVAC, stoop + kitchen, patio + waste.
Nearly a year after Nicole, her sister Julie Alvarez, and her boyfriend Matt began filming this documentary, radical change uprooted Nicole from both her home and political calling. Despite some disappointment, she's become even more attached to making her hometown denser and more walkable and to proving that small- and urban- can be beautiful.

(Earth Focus: Episode 64) People in three adjacent Pennsylvania communities suffer from a rare blood cancer. In Juliette, Georgia, where radioactive water flows from the tap, people are also getting sick. What else do these communities have in common? Coal ash. Some 130 million tons of it is generated in the US each year. It contains toxins like lead, arsenic and mercury and it gets into ground water from unlined pond and pit storage sites. The federal government says it's non-hazardous and regulation is left to state governments where the coal industry has great influence. And it's always people who suffer the consequences.
